After Tuesday's disastrous evening, I saw Kevin the masseuse on Wednesday and he managed to sort out my neck and shoulders. However, I was a little sore on Thursday so gave that run a miss.
Saturday saw me hit the road again and complete 4 miles (but I forgot to blog - again!) and although my calf muscle still felt quite tight, I got through to the end.
I was up at 0715 this morning and got ready for my run. I worked out the extra mile on my route planner and set out to attempt 21 miles. Unfortunately though my calf felt very tight today and, with only 5 weeks to the big one, I didn't want to risk ANYTHING. That's the reason I stopped and turned back after less than half a mile. As frustrating as it is, I know that my body has to be 100% on the day, as well as my lungs and willpower. I cant run this Tuesday or Thursday so my calf will get a full week's rest before I run again next Saturday. A blip, but I'll be back!!
I received my runner number in the post this week...number 12355...keep an eye out for me!
